“The reason we are putting this on is simply because the bands are brilliant. They are as good as anything you see elsewhere,” says Hall of Sound’s Paul Collins.

“We love music, and we do this to help nurture new artists. These gigs will give local artists a platform for their music while allowing them to earn at the same time.”

Punk band Terrics have become one of Reading’s ‘ones to watch’ since performing at Rock The House, an unsigned bands competition at the House of Commons.

Fellow Reading band The Polysonic, fronted by producer and singer Tom Wolfe, have also been building a steady fan base with their electro rock sound.

It’s been a good year for the band so far with the release of their EP Collide, and the band have also been chosen to compose the soundtrack for independent horror film Death Walks.

“We’re very excited to be playing for such dedicated promoters,” says Tom. “We’ll be playing a selection of tracks from each of our previous releases, as well as revealing several new tracks from the upcoming album for the first time.”

Third in the line-up is Heroic I Swear, who were finalists in the 2013 Reading Rock Academy Battle of The Bands competition.

All profits from the gig will go directly to the bands to help support them in funding new EPs and gigs and Paul says it’s ‘very important’ for people to get out and support local bands.

“It’s so easy just to turn on Radio 1 and hear the same old stuff. It’s background music,” he says.

“But once you start delving into the local music scene you get other stuff. They do it for the love of it. They don’t have Sony or someone else pushing it.

“If you listen to Terrics they’re brilliant, if you listen to The Polysonic they’re brilliant. If people don’t get out there all they will have is Justin Bieber and Rihanna.

“We’re trying to make it easy and more accessible. Come out and enjoy it. Good music is good music.”

Hall of Sound Presents The Polysonic plus support will take place at Readipop at 35 Milford Road on Saturday, August 10, at 7.30pm. Tickets are £4 in advance from www.wegottickets.com.
